=== "Cishets" ===
The word cishet was originally used by trans people, with the implication being someone who is [[cisgender]], [[Straight|heterosexual]], and heteroromantic. However it was adopted by exclusionistexclusionists as a dogwhistle meaning a-spec people. Originally it meant heteroromantic asexuals, or aromantic heteroromanticsheterosexuals, however for some exclusionist it has come to mean [[aroace]] people or even all a-spec people. Some exclusionistexclusionists claim to be fine with [[Transgender|trans]] a-spec people and people who areexperience [[gay]]same-gender attraction as well andas being a-spec, however exclusionistexclusionists often harass a-spec people regardless of their other identities.
=== Denial of Asexuals ===
Some exclusionistexclusionists will claim that asexuals do not exist. This can be for a variety of reasons. Some of the most common are:
* Asexuals are virgins who are mad they can't getfind layed.sexual partners
* Asexuals are straight people who want to be "special" or invade LGBT+ spaces.
* Asexuals are gay/lesbian and are have too much internalized homophobia to admit theirthy are attracted to the same sex.
* Asexuals are children who don't feel sexual attraction because they haven't hit puberty yet.
* Asexuals are sexually repressed or have a hormonal disorder.
Many claim that [[Demisexual|demisexuality]] and other [[Asexual Spectrum|ace-spec]] identities don't exist because "it's normal to not want to have sex with everyone you see", completely missing the point of ace-spec identities or misinterpreting their own unrecognized demisexuality as a universal experience.
Similar claims are used against [[Aromantic Spectrum|aro-spec]] people, such as claims that aromantics are men who "just what to have one night stands and not deal with the emotional repercussions". They also frequently make fun of aromantic terminology, such as [[Queerplatonic Relationship|queerplatonic relationships]], and [[aplatonic]] aros. They will say that aromantics have no friends/don't know what friendship is.
=== Denial of Oppression ===
ExclusionistExclusionists will often claim that asexuals are not a part of the LGBT community because asexuals do not experience oppression. When presented with evidence of asexual oppression they will either outright refuse to admit that it happened, sometimessuch as trying to gaslight victims of corrective rape victims by staying that they weren't actually raped. Oror they will claimclaiming that the oppression experienced was actually misdirected homophobia or misogyny.
=== Demonetization of Asexuals ===
ExclusionistExclusionists will go out of their way to makemock, fun of asexualsdiscredit, or makedefame them look badasexuals. They often claim that claiming asexuality exists inherently sexualizes all other LGB identities. Similarly they often claim that minors cannot identify as asexual because it's an inherently sexualized identity. They will claim that asexuals prey on young child, convincing them that they're asexual. Some exclusionistexclusionists once identitiedidentified as asexual, thenif the past before realizedrealizing that they weren't asexual, and they are convinced that all asexuals must be the same as them.
ExclusionsExclusionists also will claim that [[allosexual]] is a slur used againagainst them, because it groups LGB people with straight people. They also claim that the existence of the term allosexual is shaming people for wanting sex.
ExclusionistExclusionists will often pose as asexuals, andto troll asexual forums or other ace spaces to make posts about how muchasexuals theyare "likesuperior beingto ace"allosexuals and howthat they'reexperiencing "gladsexual theyattraction aren'tmakes aallosexuals "dirty allo, always thinking about sex". Since most people do not realize that these post were made be trolls they're often spread in exclusionist circles as "proveproof" of how all asexuals are actually homophobic.
